Dance and Sing Even When Someone is Watching
It is mid-January and the island isquiet finally. It is a nice day, sun, clouds, a breeze coming from the south. Alone on the beach. Time has changed how I feel about being along. There is more of a balance to my life between solitude and being surrounded by people. After a summer and fall full of tourists it is bliss to take a walk on the deserted -well mostly deserted beach. Certain stretches have a few people out enjoying the nice winter day. If you walk far enough to areas less populated you will have miles to yourself. The sun, the ocean, the shells along the beach, the sea gulls all keep my company. I may be the only person but I am surrounded by beauty, nature and divine light, The wisdom of the beach in the winter touches me and reaches into my being. Without the business of the other seasons, I reconnect with the ocean I love. I breathe deeply. I am one with nature and the divine. I am no longer feeling alone at all. I am filled with life. It surrounds me. It gives me life. The freedom of an empty beach provides me with the courage to sing and dance to my own song, What the beach is telling me today I don;t need to be afraid to sing and dance my own song even if I am on the otherside of the dunes.It is always there guiding me through the currents of my life.
Book Excerpt
Dancing on the beach
Dancing on an Empty Beach
On this day I am all alone on the beach doing some yoga. I begin to flow the movements together. I throw in a few ballet movements and I am dancing.
It is just me and the sand and the ocean. I let my spirit flow out of me. I lose myself in the movement. I am one with my body with my spirit in control.
I am free. This taste of freedom ignites a flame that I will not be able to put out.
For most of my life I have hated being alone. I have been afraid of being alone. Out of that moment of aloneness, of solitude, my spirit burst free. My passion became creative expression.
Dancing on the Beach was born in that moment.
One could say it could happen anywhere. For you the place may be different, the woods, a meadow, a studio, your bedroom. For me it is the ocean.
I am living both my dream, living at the ocean, and my nightmare, living alone. I can awaken each morning from the nightmare and know that it is just a dream, a creation of my imagination and not the reality of me.
Aloneness has given me freedom to be myself, to make my own choices, to do what is in my heart. I have no one to answer to but myself.
It is often in our darkest moments, in the depths of despair when our hearts and souls come forward to show us who we truly are.
This Dance is free, passionate, a true expression of one’s heart and spirit not influenced by what others think. Listen to your inner voice, listen to your heart, Let go, Set your Spirit Free, Dance with passion, Express Yourself, Be Yourself. We should always dance as if no one is watching.
